A pink, floral-scented syrup made by boiling fragrant rose petals with sugar and water. Used to flavor sherbets, lemonade, and desserts.
Rose syrup is a pink-colored, floral-aromatic syrup obtained by boiling the petals of fragrant rose (especially Rosa damascena) with sugar and water and then straining. Aromatic rose varieties like Isparta rose are the traditional raw material for this syrup.
It is a sugar-based aroma syrup; it adds both color and a floral scent to drinks. It should not be confused with rose water (a distillation product): rose water is unsweetened and lighter, while rose syrup is sweet and dense.
Since there is no verified nutrition dataset specific to rose syrup and the sugar ratio varies by recipe, a numerical table is not given. Being a sugar-based syrup, its calories come predominantly from sugar.
Rose syrup is a sweetener-flavoring used in the kitchen to add aroma and color; it should be consumed for enjoyment, in moderation. Being sugar-based, it does not carry a nutritional health claim.
This information is general; rose syrup is a food, not a substitute for medical treatment.
Quality rose syrup is made from real rose petals, has a distinct floral aroma, and a natural pink tone; products with intense artificial color and aroma should be avoided.
